# Farmington Foods FZCO - Network, QAQC, and FSVP Readiness

Prepared for The Wenger Group. As of 2026-08-28.

## Presentation narrative - 21 chapters

1. **Farmington Foods FZCO and Related African Organic Soy Network.** Connectivity-first review of entity relationships, certifications, lot-code patterns, trade flows, and documentary observations.
2. **Executive Conclusion.** The central finding supports a GO with defined verification controls.
3. **How the Evidence Is Classified.** Confirmed facts, strongly supported relationships, inferences, and unverified claims are treated separately.
4. **The Big Picture: One Commercial Network, Multiple Operating Nodes.** The evidence supports parallel suppliers and processors coordinated through Farmington rather than a single linear chain.
5. **Why Farmington Is the Central Connectivity Node.** Farmington's documents, certification, program knowledge, people, U.S. node, and trade footprint place it at the center.
6. **JERR: Certified Crop Operation Plus Certified Handling Operation.** Distinct crop and handling certificates support a potentially vertically integrated operating structure.
7. **SA International: The Togo Node.** Certification, Farmington references, shared personnel, and visible U.S. shipping connect SA to the broader program.
8. **The Ethiopia and West Africa Supplier Constellation.** JERR, Yilkal, Nature Bio, Raey, SA, Yellow Grain, and developing leads form a parallel supplier platform.
9. **FFF Is the Strongest Program-Level Connectivity Indicator.** The same code architecture appears across Farmington, JERR, Yilkal, and Yellow Grain records.
10. **Shared People and Common Administrative Infrastructure.** Personnel overlap supports coordination but does not independently prove common ownership.
11. **A Repeatable Shipping Program Is Visible.** Container counts, shipment weights, ports, logistics parties, commodity language, and FFF coding repeat across the program.
12. **Current and Historical U.S. Buyer Network.** The upstream entities connect to an established universe of current, historical, and logistics counterparties.
13. **Raj Natural Is an Adjacent Commercial Node.** Shared suppliers demonstrate commercial overlap while corporate ownership remains an inference.
14. **What the Connectivity Evidence Proves - and What It Does Not.** Commercial coordination is strongly supported; legal ownership, intent, and complete transaction traceability are not proven.
15. **Document Observations: Separate Administrative Defects from Substantive Questions.** Version-control defects, shared templates, and operational questions carry different evidentiary weight.
16. **Confirmed Administrative Inconsistencies.** Page-number, date, and audit-version defects support weak document control, not a standalone fraud finding.
17. **Confirmed Substantive Inconsistencies.** Facility activity, CCP limits, risk matrices, testing, pest control, and product scope require controlled clarification.
18. **Mock Recall and Mass-Balance Observations.** Lot-level source and shipment coding are present, but the summaries are too compressed for independent production reconstruction.
19. **Why the Evidence Supports a GO.** Broad certification, meaningful acreage, repeat trade, coherent program evidence, identity screening, and the absence of affirmative fraud signals support conditional approval.
20. **Final Intelligence Assessment.** The network presents low supplier-integrity risk and moderate, manageable document-control risk.
21. **Key Source Set.** Supplier documents, organic certification, HACCP and food-safety files, Atlas trade data, analysis outputs, and stated limitations form the evidence base.

## Decision

**GO - CONDITIONAL APPROVAL.** The evidence supports a real, active, broadly certified organic soybean and soybean-meal program centered commercially and administratively around Farmington Foods FZCO. Supplier-integrity risk is low; document-control risk is moderate and manageable.

Why the evidence supports a GO:

- Ten current crop or handling operations cover every named network entity.
- 49,044.41 certified acres across JERR, Nature Bio, and Yilkal support plausible production scale.
- Repeat approximately 220-223 MT shipments across multiple exporters, ports, logistics providers, and U.S. counterparties demonstrate sustained commercial performance.
- FFF lot architecture, shared personnel, and the Yilkal crop certificate's c/o Nature Bio address independently reinforce a coordinated operating program.
- Farmington's public identity and bank evidence, SA/JERR certificate contacts, and clear Trade.gov screening for three key people reduce identity and integrity risk.
- The discrepancies fit poor version control and copied templates; the reviewed evidence does not show an impossible physical balance or independently repeated false fact establishing intentional fraud.

Wenger's qualified individual should document the conditional disposition, verification activities, and review cadence. That is an administrative approval control, not adverse supplier evidence.

## Key figures

- Ten current NOP crop or handling operations across Farmington, JERR, SA, Yilkal, Nature Bio, Raey, and Yellow Grain.
- 49,044.41 certified acres across the JERR, Nature Bio, and Yilkal crop operations.
- Typical recurring lot: approximately 220-223 metric tons.
- Common load-out: approximately 10 containers or bookings.
- 49 Farmington live inbound records in one importer-id layer.
- 41 JERR export-side records to Farmington name variants in a separate layer.
- 105 Farmington profile imports cited in the supplied packet, not yet record-level reconciled to the Atlas layers.

## Certification

| Entity | NOP ID | Scope | Products | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farmington Foods FZCO | 4920006030 | Handling | Sesame seed, soybean oil, soybean, soybean meal | Current certificate issued 2026-08-07 |
| JERR Private Limited Company | 4920006526 | Crops | Soybean | Effective 2026-01-08; 12,355 acres |
| JERR Private Limited Company | 4920006661 | Handling | Soybean, soybean meal, soybean crude oil, sesame seed | Effective 2024-01-12 |
| SA International SARL | 4920006671 | Handling | Soybean, soybean crude oil, soybean meal | Certified; effective 2023-12-27 |
| Nature Bio Trading PLC | 1780889640 | Handling | Sesame, soyabean meal, soybean | Certified; effective 2022-08-17 |
| Nature Bio Trading PLC | 4920007520 | Crops | Maize, sesame, soybean | Certified; effective 2025-12-04; 19,123.07 acres |
| Raey Trading PLC | 4920005627 | Handling | Kidney bean, maize, sesame seed, soybean, soybean meal | Certified; effective 2022-06-02 |
| Yellow Grain SARL | 4920007594 | Handling | Soybean meal, soybean oil, soybean seed | Certified; effective 2025-11-29 |
| Yilkal Yenesew Zeleke Import And Export | 4920007584 | Crops | Kidney bean, maize, soybean | Current certificate issued 2026-08-05; 17,566.34 acres |
| Yilkal Yenesew Zeleke Import And Export | 4920004048 | Handling | Sesame seed, soybean, soybean meal | Current certificate issued 2026-08-17 |

The full 1 Aug 2026 USDA Organic INTEGRITY export closes the prior network-operation omissions and supplies SA's previously unstated effective date. The two later-issued Yilkal certificates close the report's specific request for Yilkal's current crop and handling certificates. The crop certificate also lists the operation c/o Nature Bio Trading PLC, adding direct operational evidence to that connection.

Nature Bio's older OneCert crop records 4920006226 and 4920006227 and Yellow Grain's older CERES handling record 4080208634 are surrendered legacy records; they are not presented as current. Current certifications are listed above.

Operation certificates do not establish the organic status of an individual shipment. Representative shipment-level NOP Import Certificates remain required.

## Trade-data reconciliation

The 49, 41, and 105 record figures come from different search surfaces. They are disclosed separately and are not summed.

| Evidence layer | Count | Treatment |
|---|---:|---|
| Farmington live inbound on importer id NBDX2H176032602 | 49 | Nature Bio 19, Yilkal 18, Raey 11, JERR 1 |
| JERR export-side search to Farmington name variants | 41 | Deduplicate against the 49 before aggregation |
| Broader Farmington customs profile cited in the supplied packet | 105 | Context only until date range, record IDs, and duplicates are reconciled |
| SA direct-consignee search to Farmington | 0 | Does not erase strong program/document connectivity |

## Program connectivity

Farmington is the certified handling and commercial hub. JERR, SA International, Yilkal, Nature Bio, Raey, and Yellow Grain connect through a combination of physical trade, lot-code architecture, personnel, documents, logistics, and counterparties.

FFF is the strongest program-level coding indicator. The supplied packet reports Farmington as second notify on FFF/YG records. The two reviewed Atlas Yellow Grain bills instead name OTML as consignee with blank or RTW notify. Both observations are source-qualified; the discrepancy remains open.

## Supplier disposition

| Supplier | Current status | Approval conditions |
|---|---|---|
| JERR Private Limited Company | GO - CONDITIONAL | Accept current certified, lot-linked material only; exclude the 2025 Anemaw lot until documented; require shipment-level NOP Import Certificate and transaction file; complete controlled-document CAPA and qualified-individual sign-off |
| SA International SARL | GO - CONDITIONAL | Use the authoritative controlled audit/HACCP set; require shipment-level NOP Import Certificate, COA, and buyer chain; complete document-control CAPA and qualified-individual sign-off |

## Managed approval controls

- Release only shipments supported by a matching NOP Import Certificate, invoice, lot record, bill of lading, COA, and importer/consignee record.
- Limit JERR approval to current certified, lot-linked material; exclude the 2025 Anemaw historical lot until its certificate is documented.
- Confirm current controlled CCP limits, hazard scoring, testing capability, pest-control responsibility, and product scope through corrective action.
- Verify one representative mass balance that separates meal, oil, inventory, work-in-process, losses, and screenings.
- Complete the Wenger qualified-individual approval record and verification cadence.

## Conditional approval actions

1. Identify authoritative controlled versions of all audit, HACCP, hazard, testing, pest-control, and traceability documents.
2. Reconcile JERR crop-to-handling transfers and the 2025 Anemaw source certificate.
3. Resolve process, CCP, risk-matrix, testing, pest-control, and product-scope conflicts through approved corrective action.
4. Provide one representative end-to-end shipment file for each origin.
5. Define FFF and provide the corporate and contractual relationship map.
6. Document the qualified individual's conditional approvals, verification activities, and review cadence.
